I couldn’t resist this pattern when I saw it, and had to cast on straight away!

My yarn is oiled, on the cone, but it blooms really well when blocked, and is incredibly soft.

3.75mm for gauge, neck ribbing done on 3mm.

Long Yoke option.

This pattern is truly engaging, and very addictive!
I keep looking at it, to check I’ve not crossed a cable the wrong way…

I’m cabling without a cable needle, it’s so much faster:

The first cone has taken me to 4.5” down the body from the armhole.
I left the body on a cable just before the ribbing, to knit the sleeves. The sleeves took 43g each, so I had 61g left, plenty to finish the body.

The cable pattern finishes at sleeve/body separation, so watch your row gauge if you don’t want the armholes to be too long…or knit the short yoke, which has a cable chart of 56 rounds, rather than 68 for the long yoke.

Measurements, after blocking:
Bust, 38”
Length, from top of shoulder next neck, to hem, 22”
Inside sleeve, 17.5”

I can’t wait to block it!
